Investigation of vacancies in Fe-Al alloys
Lukáč, František ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee) ; Schneeweiss, Oldřich (referee)
Title: Investigation of vacancies in Fe-Al alloys Author: RNDr. František Lukáč Department: Department of Low Temperature Physics Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Jakub Čížek, Ph.D., Department of Low Temperature Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Abstract: Fe-Al alloys exhibit relatively high vacancy concentrations, which significantly influence the mechanical properties of these alloys. Positron annihi- lation spectroscopy was employed for investigations of vacancies in this work and the vacancy concentrations in Fe-Al alloys were determined by positron lifetime spectroscopy and measurements of positron diffusion length of implanted mono- genergetic positrons. The correlation of hardness with the vacancy concentration was characterized by determination of the vacancy hardening coefficient in Fe- Al alloys. The thermal evolutions of hardness and the vacancy concentration were compared during the annealing of the Fe-Al alloys with various composi- tions. Coincidence Doppler broadening of annihilation peak was employed for determination of the chemical composition of quenched-in vacancies in Fe-Al al- loys. Increased concentration of Al atoms in surrounding vacancies in Fe-Al alloys was related to the attractive interaction between the Al atoms and the vacancy. Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations were...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys prepared by severe plastic deformation
Bajer, Jan ; Cieslar, Miroslav (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee)
New technologies of components assembling in car and aircraft industries and requests on improved mechanical and corrosion properties of metallic materials in the packing industry activate the utilization of highly innovative and unconventional manufacturing processes. There are only a limited number of processing, that retain the original material thickness and in an appropriate manner modify material properties. These are different types of annealing, severe plastic deformation methods or combination of both. In recent years constrained groove pressing (CGP) was devoloped with this method the grain size can be reduced from tens of micrometers to sub-micrometers. The present work is focused on a study of evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of two alloys based on EN AW 3003 after CGP deformation and subsequent annealing.

Minárik, Peter ; Král, Robert (advisor) ; Chráska, Pavel (referee) ; Landa, Michal (referee)
Title: Effect of composition and microstructure on mechanical and corrosion properties in magnesium alloys with a potential for medical applications. Author: RNDr. Peter MINÁRIK Department / Institute: Department of Physics of Materials, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Doc. Dr. rer. nat. Robert Král, PhD., Department of Physics of Materials, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Abstract: Doctoral thesis is focused on the effect of thermomechanical processing through ECAP on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion properties. The investigation was performed on the extruded magnesium alloys AE21, AE42 and LAE442, because their potential for medical applications. Microstructure development was characterized in detail by scanning electron microscopy together with detection of back scattered electros, transmission electron microscopy and positron annihilation spectroscopy. Development of mechanical properties was investigated by tensile and compression deformation tests and microhardness measurement. Corrosion resistance was investigated by linear polarization method. Fine-grain structure with grain boundaries with high angle misorientation was achieved by the thermomechanical processing. The resulting...

Mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloys
Nováková, Helena ; Stráská, Jitka (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee)
This work is focused on the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloy AZ31 prepared by EX-ECAP method. The main goal of the bachelor thesis is to find external conditions of superplastic deformation: deformation temperature (measured in the range 150 řC - 350 řC) and strain rate (measured in the range 10-5 s-1 - 10-2 s-1 ). Properties related to the mechanisms of superplasticity (strain rate sensitivity parameter, maximum stress and maximum elongation) were evaluated. Deformation mechanisms were furthermore observed using atomic force microscopy.
